Satisfaction Guaranteed
This House is very nice, modern, clean and comfortable. The location is a 5 min walk to the Beach and very popular Tay St Coffee Shop. This beautiful house exceeded our expectations. We will definitely book it again and recommend it to our friends and family. One very small correction that could help is the VRBO location which calls the house TAY STREET BEACH VIBE when in fact it's on Valley Rd.

Wonderful home
The home is exactly as described, very fresh, up-to-date and super clean. We loved the ten minute walk to the amazing beach and the general vibe of the area, as well as the ability to simply hang out and read in the lovely back yard. Would absolutely recommend this home to anyone.

We had a great weekend away in the Mount celebrating New Years and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay! Helen’s beach house is clean, comfy and in a great location in Mount Maunganui. This house is so well equipped for everything you need for a summer holiday at the beach!

Home away from home
Helen’s place has everything I was looking for. It was pristine, comfortable, elegant, and well-equipped. The location couldn’t be more perfect for enjoying and exploring The Mount. It was an easy two blocks to the beach, two blocks to the grocery, and a fifteen minute walk to town. I was visiting my niece and her family and Helen’s house was perfect for an informal dinner with the kids. I would recommend the Tay Street Beach Vibe House to any and all.

Good location in Tauranga
Cute house, lots of amenities nearby. Property owners were very communicative and helpful. Good access to beach, Mt (great hike), restaurants, etc. One small challenge was the narrow driveway and the setback of the house - feels like you are in a bowl amongst adjacent property. There was also Some construction noise one morning around 4:30am. Not the property owners fault, but definitely unwelcome.

Perfect beach stay
We had a few needs for our stay (e.g. fully fenced with two young children, no stairs, not on busy road, etc). Helen’s house ticked all the boxes and was very conveniently located for us to enjoy all Mount Maunganui and surrounds has to offer. The property was very neatly presented and Helen responded quickly when we needed to get in touch. Would absolutely recommend for anyone wanting a relaxing family holiday in Mount Maunganui. Thank you, Helen!

Accurately advertised. Conveniently located and clean, well provided place for our group of 3 adults and 2 children during AIMS games. Due to dietary needs, having a well provided kitchen was excellent for us. Warm property. Would stay again if need arose

Perfect Place to Catch up with Friends
We had a lovely time, it was a perfect place to catch up with friends from Hawkes Bay and the Coromandel. The house was ideal, with nice bedrooms and lovely flow from the kitchen through the dining room and into the lounge. The house was easy walking to the cafe and beach. Very clean and tidy, thank you.
